love's not just one song

My heart writes in chords, 

never a single line-it lets notes overlap, 

light through more than one window.

Melodies come and go, 

and I welcome them honestly.

But there is one tone I have never stopped holding.

It runs beneath every harmony, 

steady in the background, familiar as breath.

Not louder than the others-just deeper.

If you feel this song settle around you like it already knows your shape,

it's because I am still loving you-not instead of, 

but enduringly, in every chord I keep.
